The Telegraph Group Supports the ISCE
It is worth recalling the extraordinary bravery of those who embarked on such feats of endurance with their rudimentary equipment and no realistic hope of rescue if something went wrong.
The ISCE is not intended to be a re-enactment of Captain Scott's original Terra Nova expedition, but to provide a fitting focus and commemoration of its achievements, and so to generate maximum public interest and inspire an effective education and media programme.
A tribute man-hauling sledge team will make the arduous journey from Hut Point to the location of Captain Scott's final camp. Here, descendants from all five families of Captain Scott's Pole Party will fly in and a memorial service will be held for the nation.
The Expedition
Just as Captain Scott involved as many people as possible in his expedition to represent as many interests as possible, so will the ISCE. This will be achieved by involving schools and the general public as well as the broad range of participants taking part in the expedition:
The Sledge Party will attend the memorial service by forming a tribute man-hauling party who will follow the route taken by the Search Party of 1912. The team will travel with full supplies from Scott’s original Base to where the tent of the Polar Party was found. On completion of the service they will return overland, a journey of 290 miles.
This team may consist of:
The Flight Team
To achieve maximum public interest and support, descendants, major sponsors and representatives from organisations with links to the original expedition will be flown into Antarctica. Here they will join the Sledge Party for the memorial service, reminding us that real human lives form the heart of these epic stories. Participants may include
